Hi Everyone,

BEDCL Umpiring Committee (BUC) is conducting a seminar on the upcoming Umpires' exams conducted by Cricket Canada on December 11, 2021. The aim is to prepare our ALL who are registering to give the exam (current umpires as well as aspiring umpires from the BEDCL membership) and inform them of what to expect during the exam. We will also be sharing online resource locations that they can use to educate themselves on the various laws of cricket and their interpretation. The BUC will take a couple of laws and dig deeper during this session while explaining their interpretation.

BUC will also be holding a session specifically for Duckworth/Lewis calculations, which will be useful for those attending the Level-2 and Level-3 exam (Level 1 does exam does not cover D/L). This session will cover how D/L calculations are manually performed. We can take examples from the attendees, as well as demonstrate some of our own examples, and run through the manual calculations.

Please make every effort to attend this exam as these grading will be relevant to not only improve your umpiring knowledge, but will also be important when the next full season of cricket resumes, since umpires will be paid based on the levels they have qualified through passing these exams.

Below are some of the important date:

1) BEDCL Umpiring seminar - general information : November 29, 2021 - 7pm to 9pm

2) BEDCL Umpiring seminar - Duckworth/Lewis manual calculations : December 06, 2021 - 6:30pm to 9:00pm
